BISHOP EDWARD M. RICE
Jesus Christ
LIVES!
And from that belief flows joy, peace, and happiness for believers. The resurrection of Christ gives meaning to our human existence beyond the grave.
The roots of Catholicism run deep here in the 39 counties of southern Missouri, and I am grateful to partner with my brother priests in spreading the beauty of our Catholic Faith in the spirit of the New Evangelization. I rely on the loving Providence of God to assist me as I strive to walk in the way of Christ, the Good Shepherd, who will continue to guide my way if I but seek to do His will.
I ask for the intercession of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne and Pope St. Pius X, patrons of our Diocese, all under the mantle of Our Lady of Mercy. Pray for us!
